Ruben Neves has responded to rumors of Cristiano Ronaldo joining Al-Hilal this summer. He spoke about the FIFA Club World Cup but asserted that he doesn’t know what will happen with his compatriot.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr is set to expire this summer. Some reports suggest that he is set to leave the club and has been linked with a move to Al-Hilal. The latter have won multiple trophies in recent seasons while Al-Nassr have failed to do so.
Al-Hilal will also be participating in the FIFA Club World Cup later this month. Hence, some rumors suggest that Ronaldo might join them before the tournament starts. Ruben Neves has now shared his thoughts on it, saying (via O Jogo):
Ruben Neves joined Al-Hilal from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2023. He has recorded eight goals and 22 assists in 86 games for them, winning four trophies, including the Saudi Pro League title.
Barcelona sporting director Deco recently shared his thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo being called up for Portugal’s upcoming UEFA Nations League games. He asserted that the forward still has a lot to offer and claimed him the greatest player of all time.
When asked if Ronaldo’s time with the national team might be coming to an end, the former Portugal midfielder said (via GOAL):
He also spoke about the future of the team, saying:
Cristiano Ronaldo is 40 now but registered 35 goals and four assists in 41 games across competitions for Al-Nassr last season. He has now joined Portugal’s camp for their UEFA Nations League semi-final against Germany at the Allianz Arena on June 4. The winner will face either France or Spain in the final on June 8.
A B.Tech. graduate, Aditya’s journey as an ardent football fan began after watching the elegant maestro Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and his infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi in the final. He has been a fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s front foot and creative football since 2008 and connect’s with the club’s underdog status.
Aditya, who is a Sportskeeda ‘Long-form Editor of the Month’ award winner, is a big admirer of Luka Modric’s elegant and hard-working style of play. His favorite manager is Carlo Ancelotti because the Italian allows his players enough freedom in an age where micromanagement is the established norm.
Aditya feels Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala could replicate the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry due to their incredible collective potential. In his free time, he likes to read classical fiction, travel to places, and explore a variety of foods.
